To the Editor of ‘‘St. Croix Avis.”
Dear
Sir:—
In your
esteemed
paper
of
Tues-
day’s
date
there
appeared
an article in
reply to '‘Staunch
Theatre
Goers’,
from
s il
& A
ViD
the
pen
of
Mr.
Einar
Svendsen
of the
|
OF ristiansted
Theatre.
We
shouald
like
[
to say
a few words
on the subject.
What
|
is the cause
of this question
of
the
Sun-
l
day evening show coming up all of a sud-
|
den?
Until
some
just
reason
can
be
|
given for this
sudden
change
we
stand
|
firnily opposed
to
the
Sunday
evening
|
movie
show.
How
far
this
Supn-day |
night
show
will
be
a
success
remains
to be seen,
for
no one
cares
to
be
racing
from
Church
service
in
order
to beon
|
time
at
the
Theatre,
which
eventually
must
ba
the
case
at
times,
especially
when
there
might
be
some
special
ser-
vice in oue
or all of the churches
on
one
of those
nights,
and
it
1s
expected
that
the religious side will be attended
to first
We
have
also
got
quite
accustomed
to
our Band
concerts
on
Sunday
evenings,
which are
verv
welcome,
and
for
that
reason
the audience
is
bound
to
be
de-
vided.
For
tise
third
time,
wwe
are
in
favor of Monday
and
i'hursday
nights.
Concerning
the question
of
the
prices
of
admission
we
say,
it
is
but natural
that
this
poiat
should
be
raised
when
wages
and other things
are
going
down,
and about
the
Theatre keeping
at 40
and
20 cts.
even
when
the
exchange
was
as
high as 28%4% and
did not raise
the
price,
is very good argument
on
one
side,
but
on the other side
we don’t think that
the
Theatre
lost anything by
so doing,
as
no-
body
goes
into this kind
of
business
for
his health,
when
it means
a great
outlay
of money
as
Mr. Svendsen
has
showa
us
We will refrain from further details
just
now.
It is hoped
that
the
proprietor
of
the Theatre,
and
the
representative
of
the film company
who is
shortly
expect-
ed
will
come
to
some
understanding
whareby
a
speedy
reduction
in prices
will be effected.
With malice
toward
none,
and
all
suec-
cess
to
the
Christiansted
Theatre,
we
are,
:
Respectfully,
STAUNCH THEATRE GOERS.
Thrifty Virgin Islands
Sur-
vive Business
Depression.
Horizon Corporation
A Highly Pro-
ductive Enterprise.
By ASHLEY
L. TOTTEN.
The beginning of a
new year
has
open-
ed
possibilities
hither*>
unknown
to our
people.
A few days
ago I came
in direct
contact
with
the
officers ofa
business
enterprise,
known
as
the
Horizon
Cor-
poration.
[t
did
not
take
me long
to
realize
that of all enterprises
started
in
Harlem,
I ./as at last
face
to face
with
a proposition
deserving
of deep and seri-
ous
consideration;
and
worthy
of
our
whole hearted
support,
. Since the World’s
War,
there has been
a
great
wave of energy
on
the part
of
several
individuals
who have
organized
into
various
corp-rate
bodies
for
the
purpose
of
doing
business.
Some
have
taken
an active part in the housing prob-
lem,
encouraging
investments
along
those
iines, hoping
to alleviate conditions
and
incidentally to
reap
very profitable
results.
Others
promoted
mag
.animous
schemes,
alarming
and
threatening
to
the
mercantile
world,
but
so far,
most
of
these
have
failed
of
their
expecta-
tions.
Those,
now
in
their
last
dying
stages
were
dismai
failuves
at the
s:art.
While
many
reasons
nave
been
ad-
vancad
for these
dismal
failires
and
dis-
couraging
set-backs,
an
investigation
shows
that the primary
cause
is an
utter
lack of experience
in
the business
taken
up, and alarming
ignorance
of the
man-
agement
of corporative affairs.
The
Hor-
izon
Corporation
has
outlived
them
all
and
looms
up
in the
face
of
universal
business
depression,
as
one
of the
best
business
enterprises
ever placed
before
the public.
There isa reason—Mr.
S.
A.
Irving a native
of our little island
of
St.
Croix, who migrated
to this
councry
sev-
eral
years
ago
isits
present
President.
This
energetic
young
man
started
life
here
making
a
careful
daily
study
of
the
best
means
with which
to
establish
an independent
field of livelihood for our
people.
He
is the Pioneer
of tke
Motor
Trucking
Business
in Harlem.
Whenever
anyv
one
sees
Mr. Irving
on
the
streets,
he
is
always
talking
““Morey’’?
Approached
some
time
ago
as
to his interest
in the
affairs of the
Is-
lands,
he said ‘‘Show me
the
money,
and
do the talking after.
Much
28 I love my
home
arnd
my people,
I cannot
conceive
an
idea
of helping
them
to help
them-
selves
without
money’’.
Mr.
Irving
worked
here
at
his
trade
for
several
years,
at a time when
a colored
mechanic
was
unknown
to
New
Yorkers.
He
saved
and
saved.
until ten
years
ago
be
started
business
for
himself
in what
has
since
proved
to be the
most highly
pro-
ductive
enterprise
in the United
States.
Give
an
ambitious
man
a motor
truck,
and
in
five
years
he
will show
you
a
small
fortune.
Show
the Public
a good
garage
in which
to store
their cars,
and
you’ll have
to cail
on
Police Depariment
to regulate
Traffic.
Mr. Irving started
in the
transporta-
tion
LuSiness
with one
motor
truck
for
the
purpose
of getting
the practical
ex-
perience
and
to accumulate
the
necessary
data
of
a profitable
trucking
business,
and
now,
after
more
than
ten
years
of
this kind of work
is ready,
not only with
the theoritical
knowledge,
but
an inesti-
mable
store
of practichl
knowledge
and
experience
of one
of the
leading
indus-
tries
in the
United States.
Associated
with him is Mr. Alexander
Mec Intosh who is Secretary
and Financial
Manager
of
the
Corporation,
and
who
comes
from
one
of the
Lest
and
most
prominent
families
in St.
Croix.
Here
we
have
another
young
man
who
is
actually the medinm
through
which
this
